Mom, Rikke, is obsessed with cleaning and is mad at everyone all the time. Step dad, Leif, is super busy and unfortunately not that much of a handy man when it comes to children matters. When her two siblings tear the house apart, her dad cancels their dinner the night before Christmas Eve and the mother's cleaning rage gets the best of her, Karla is pushed over the edge. She runs away from home to her friend Molly's house to spend Christmas with her. But Molly is already on her way to her grandmother's to have the perfect Christmas with her family. Disillusioned Karla starts to wander around. She meets the shabby Buster and the disabled Ejnar and she decides to spend the night before Christmas Eve with them.
